Is it Possible to store and retrieve boolean values in a VARCHAR2 column in a table using JDBC?
Yes, in Oracle you can store and retrieve a boolean value into a table for a column with VARCHAR2 datatype.
If you do so, the true and false values are stored as 1 and 0 and the retrieved as same (respectively).
Example
Let us create a table with name sampleTable in the Oracle database Using CREATE statement as −
CREATE TABLE sampleTable( ID INT, ProductName VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, CustomerName VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, IsBillDue VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, DeliveryDate date, Price INT, Location varchar(20) );
The column IsBillDue specified whether bill paid.
Following JDBC program establishes the connection with the Oracle database and populates the table sampleTable, inserting a boolean value in the column IsBillDue which is of type varchar2.
Example
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Date;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class BooleanTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
//Registering the Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
//Getting the connection
String oracleUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(oracleUrl, "system", "password");
System.out.println("Connection established......");
//Inserting values to a table
String query = "INSERT INTO sampleTable values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) ";
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setString(1, "Key-Board");
pstmt.setString(2, "Raja");
pstmt.setBoolean(3, true);
pstmt.setDate(4, new Date(1567296000000L));
pstmt.setInt(5, 7000);
pstmt.setString(6, "Hyderabad");
pstmt.execute();
pstmt.setString(1, "Earphones");
pstmt.setString(2, "Roja");
pstmt.setBoolean(3, false);
pstmt.setDate(4, new Date(1556668800000L));
pstmt.setInt(5, 2000);
pstmt.setString(6, "Vishakhapatnam");
pstmt.execute();
pstmt.setString(1, "Mouse");
pstmt.setString(2, "Puja");
pstmt.setBoolean(3, true);
pstmt.setDate(4, new Date(1551398399000L));
pstmt.setInt(5, 3000);
pstmt.setString(6, "Vijayawada");
pstmt.execute();
pstmt.setString(1, "Mobile");
pstmt.setString(2, "Vanaja");
pstmt.setBoolean(3, false);
pstmt.setDate(4, new Date(1551395452000L));
pstmt.setInt(5, 9000);
pstmt.setString(6, "Chennai");
pstmt.execute();
System.out.println("Contents of the table: ");
//Retrieving data
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from sampleTable");
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.print("Name: "+rs.getString("ProductName")+", ");
System.out.print("Customer Name: "+rs.getString("CustomerName")+", ");
System.out.print("Dispatch Date: "+rs.getString("ISBILLDUE")+", ");
System.out.print("Delivery Time: "+rs.getTime("DELIVERYDATE")+", ");
System.out.print("Price: "+rs.getInt("PRICE")+", ");
System.out.print("Location: "+rs.getString("LOCATION"));
System.out.println();
}
}
}Output
Connection established...... Contents of the table: Name: Key-Board, Customer Name: Raja, Dispatch Date: 1, Delivery Time: 00:00:00, Price: 7000, Location: Hyderabad Name: Earphones, Customer Name: Roja, Dispatch Date: 0, Delivery Time: 00:00:00, Price: 2000, Location: Vishakhapatnam Name: Mouse, Customer Name: Puja, Dispatch Date: 1, Delivery Time: 00:00:00, Price: 3000, Location: Vijayawada Name: Mobile, Customer Name: Vanaja, Dispatch Date: 0, Delivery Time: 00:00:00, Price: 9000, Location: Chennai
